Short Bio
Gal Gadot (born 30 April 1985)[2] is an Israeli actress and former fashion model. As an actress, Gadot is known for her role, which began in 2009, as Gisele in The Fast and the Furious film series. From 2016 onwards, Gadot plays the role of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe, starting with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

In previous years she had been among the top ten highest earning fashion models in Israel alongside Esti Ginzburg, Liraz Dror and Shlomit Malka, and falling behind only to Bar Refaeli. She is the face of Gucci's Bamboo perfume.

Gadot was born and raised in Rosh HaAyin, Israel. In Hebrew, her first name means "wave" and her surname means "riverbanks" or "shores". Her parents had Hebraized their surname from "Greenstein" to "Gadot". Her father is an engineer and her mother is a teacher. Her parents were born in Israel and her grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Europe (she has described her family background as "1/4 Polish, 1/4 Austrian, 1/4 German, and 1/4 Czech"). Gadot has stated that she was brought up in a "very Jewish, Israeli family environment", and has a "strong sense of her Jewish and Israeli identity".

From the age of 18, Gadot served for two years as an enlisted soldier of the Israel Defense Forces, where she served as a combat instructor. She says of her time in the army: "You give two or three years, and it’s not about you. You give your freedom away. You learn discipline and respect."
